EPL: Arsenal, Tottenham share points as Chelsea lose at home
BY Jonathan Ledger
Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Tottenham in their English Premier League (EPL) North London derby at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The Gunners were twice pegged back after taking the lead in the 194th edition of the derby as a rejuvenated Tottenham side showed mettle to claim a point in the home of their arch-rivals.
An own goal and Bukayo Saka’s penalty gave Mikel Arteta’s side the lead twice but Heun-Min Son deflated the home crowd on both occasions.
Both clubs retained their unbeaten start to the season and are on 14 points from six matches.
However, Arsenal are in fifth place below their rivals due to inferior goals difference.
In other matches, Chelsea continued their struggles in front of goal and for points as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge to Aston Villa.
Defender Malo Gusto was sent off for a dangerous tackle as the visitors took advantage with Ollie Watkins netting the winning goal.
Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota were all on the scoresheet for Liverpool in their 3-1 victory over West Ham, moving Jurgen Klopp’s side to second place and within two points of a perfect Manchester City side.
